AI Summary
This bill, the Bias In Automobile Stops Act of 2021 or BIAS Act of 2021, directs the Secretary of Transportation to provide grants to institutions of higher education to conduct research and develop training programs on implicit bias as it relates to racial profiling during traffic stops. The bill requires the grant recipients to partner with state and local police departments to carry out the research and implementation of the implicit bias training programs. It also mandates the grant recipients to submit a report to Congress summarizing the research and recommendations on effective interventions and trainings. The bill authorizes $20 million per fiscal year to fund these activities, and defines "implicit bias training program" as a program that examines the unconscious attitudes, stereotypes, and lenses that can affect how people interact with one another.
